  fun - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By De Sass - December 23 - 9:36 pm

  I love my SE3. Its easy to get in and out of, it handles great and its just plain fun to drive. I have always driven pickups, so I was a little concerned about low seating, but I sit up high pretty well. I havent driven it off road yet, except for our driveway, which is dirt and stone uphill, lol. But it takes it much smoother than any of my trucks did, lol.

  Horrible reliability - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By philashe - November 29 - 10:34 pm

  Bought the car at 63,000 miles. Donated the car to charity at 67,000 miles. Drove for 4,000 miles until oil cooler and transmission cooler failed within a week of each other. After the failures the car needed major engine and transmission work, estimated to be around $9000 to repair. This was after a $4000 service. Car cost $1 per mile in repairs on top of the regular expenses you expect (fuel, regular maintenance, insurance). Most third-party shops are unable to work on the vehicle, requiring trips to the dealer. Insurers consider this a luxury car and the premiums are very high. Very expensive car to try to keep running. Buy a bus pass and good walking shoes. Youll be left stranded.

  Great 4x4 - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Roverman - November 19 - 2:00 am

  No compromise vehicle on and off road. Drives like a BMW on the road and goes everywhere my Jeep Wrangler did. What else do you want in a small SUV. Plus it has some originality.

  good car - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By strmman - November 19 - 2:00 am

  Love the car but it is underpowered, not fast, sucks gas like a v8. The lowest model has bad fabric seats and maintenance is quite expensive. The dealer is exceptional though and I will consider trading up to a Discovery S next time.

  My First Land Rover - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Peter S. - November 7 - 10:00 am

  So far this vehicle is great to drive, especially around crowded NYC streets. Parallel parking is a breeze! On the highway, Freelander has decent acceleration for passing or merging into traffic. Interior space is adequate for this class of SUV. Lots of headroom and its rear legroom is bigger than Libertys and RAV4. For those who wants cargo space in their SUV, well, I think Freelander might not be what your are looking for.

  Be careful!!! - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By GAM - April 9 - 10:00 am

  I have 7,000 miles on a 04 HSE and since I bought it there have been whining noises not heard on other Freelanders i have driven. Land Rovers Regional representatives reply..."the noises are to acceptable standards." My answer...Lemon Law. It is a fine ride. the loaner I am returning right now is superb in handling and ride however mine is not so test drive whatever FL you plan on buying for at least 2 days, and drive it at 70MPH to make sure you do not land up as I have. Also visit the "Freelander Living" web site for more info about potential problems.

  Sonnys review - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By Sonny L - April 2 - 10:00 am

  Starts without any hesitation. Firm but solid ride and able to keep up with traffic during interstate driving. The Freelander handles extremely well in bad weather and poor driving conditions. A/C could be improved - it takes a while for the interior to cool.

  Oops I purchased a Freelandrover - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
  By steenberg - January 23 - 7:03 pm

  Having now read all the reviews, I no longer feel alone. Day 2, my Landy was back in the shop, transmission replacement parts, repair 1 week. Brakes and rotors at oil change frequency. Consistent electrical problems. Coolant leak in side the care under drivers door mat. Non stop transmission problems, vibration on acceleration. 2 months after the first coolant leak, the same problem. Battery died. Electrical window problems. I have extended warranty and am $100 out, sick of taking the car back to the dealer. Car is not reliable. Dealer has been excellent! This year I have driven a rental car more than my own car, is this a lemon?
